Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:

* Grab your current read.* Share a few “teaser” sentences from somewhere in the book.* BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (Make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away. You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)* Share the title and author so that other participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teaser!

Scandal Sheet by Gemma Halliday is a current RITA finalist. The RITA Awards will be handed out this Saturday at the end of the annual RWA conference, which is being held in Orlando, FL this year. Though appropriate to the locale, this teaser was chosen before the conference had to be relocated from Nashville to Orlando due to flooding. Yes, I wish I could be there--especially for Wednesday night's literacy booksigning. Who could resist hundreds of great authors all in one location? *Sigh* This is the first in the "Hollywood Headlines" series (book two is out August 24), and would be a great book to enjoy at the beach or poolside!
